Overview
Property code: SZ136

Located in Lorton village, this property is a traditional holiday cottage for 4 people. The interior is warmly presented and provides comfortable holiday accommodation. There are two bedrooms, a double and a twin, and a relaxed sitting room with a cosy wood burner.

High Lorton is incredibly peaceful, surrounded by open fields and pastoral scenery. There are superb walks from the village including the dramatic ridges of Whiteside and Hopegill Head and the gentler slopes of Fellbarrow. Loweswater and Crummock are a short distance from the village, both enjoying a calm atmosphere and beautiful mountain scenery. There is a small fishery just outside the village and the Coast to Coast cycle route passes close by. Lorton has a well regarded local pub, the Wheatsheaf, and a small village shop.

Cockermouth is a 15-minute drive away. Here you will find all the main services and a good selection of independent shops. Keswick is within a 30-minute drive. There is a cinema and a theatre there, not to mention a wide selection of places to eat, activities to take part in and numerous outdoor shops.

On entering the property, the front door opens into a small hallway. Off the hall is the kitchen with electric hob and oven, under counter fridge with freezer compartment, microwave and washer/dryer. There is an understairs cupboard housing the iron and ironing board.

At the far end, the kitchen is open plan to the sitting room and dining area. There is a table and chairs by the window with doors opening out onto the patio area.

The sitting room has comfortable seating on a sofa and two chairs, arranged around the multi fuel wood burner (initial supply of fuel provided). There is a flatscreen TV, DVD and CD player and good supply of maps and tourist information.

Stairs lead from the hallway to the first floor bedrooms and bathroom. The double bedroom has wardrobe and drawers and the twin bedroom a dressing table and small amount of hanging space.

The bathroom has a bath with electric shower over, WC and wash basin.

The cottage is full of character and very cosy. The facilities were generally okay, but given the poor mobile phone reception it could have benefitted from having WiFi connectivity, unless you want a tech detox holiday. While all the bedding and bathroom was clean, the downstairs carpets were covered in pet hairs. Some of the walls were marked and Read morehas chips, I assumed cause by the armchairs that ought to be cleaned and fixed. The location was quiet, isolated and had a lot of history. Hide

Cobbler cottage is een hele comfortable cottage op een prachtige locatie aan de rand van het Lake District; in het mooie dorpje High Lorton. Alles is aanwezig, alles doet het; een aanrader. Het terrasje achter is wat aan de kleine kant, maar dat is ook het enige om op te merken.

Een sfeervol klein huisje in een mooi dorp in het lakedistrict. Mijn advies: zorg voor een goede renovatie n WIFI. Dan wordt t veel aantrekkelijker voor nieuwe huurders.

Fabulous cottage in a stunning location. Village so peaceful . Local pub for Sunday lunch was amazing and you cant beat the Kirkstile Inn for food and location. Fantastic walks and views. Hoping to go back next year. No internet so just do your research before you come.

Cute little cottage, right size for me and two of my children. Remember no wi-fi, also very little signal in the house so go prepared with games and puzzles. There was a good selection of books. Great location for Whinlatter, Keswick and Buttermere.

We had a great stay at Cobblers Cottage, 3 adults and our dog. It is really cosy and comfortable and in an unspoilt part of the lake district with easy access to Crummock Water and Buttermere. Its on a very quiet little lane with a river running behind. Lovely little shop and pub nearby and a lot of Lakeland character with a great multifuel /woodbuRead morerner. Easy access to Cockermouth and Keswick for bigger shops. Hide

Cobblers Cottage is a lovely cosy property, we had a lovely week here lighting the fire and cosying up on a night. The village of Lorton is lovely too and you are able to drive to wonderful locations such as crummock water and buttermere within minutes. We will be back Michael and Danni

Comfortable Cottage reasonably equipped in an excellent location for walks and bike rides. Ensure that you know how to access courtyard before bringing bicycles... Shower good and water piping hot. Garden by the bridge and the river excellent substitute for shady small courtyard provided. Excellent location for walking and cycling.

Lovely cottage , needed the heaters on as we picked a week that turned cold ( arrived late on the Saturday evening and no fuel for the the burner) Tiny patio area but was enclosed - new fence had been put up a month earlier but is a shared access. Easy access to main Keswick - Cockermouth road ,parking further up the lane (ignore signs that say notRead more suitable for cars - just take it slow ) No wi-fi or phone signal in the cottage and tv is only tiny , so could do with updating. Too many cobwebs !! Hide

Lovely little cottage, second time staying here. It's a peaceful and cosy hideaway. An excellent basecamp for the northern fells. The Wheatsheaf is a superb pub across the field and the village shop round the corner is excellent.

Cosy cottage provides excellent value for money. Description on website is honest and accurate. Location is great and within easy reach of Keswick. The only slight disappointment was the weak shower over the bath but the comfortable beds and high quality bed linen made up for that. We will definitely return one day
